Abstract
Systems and methods for deidentifying, or anonymizing, entries in an input data source are presented. According to one embodiment, the system includes a deidentification module for modifying entries in a version of the input data source to yield an output data source such that the entries of the output data source match a specified anonymity requirement. According to one embodiment, the resulting output data source may match the specified anonymity requirement with respect to a recipient profile that is input to the system. The deidentification module may further modify the entries in the version of the input data source such that the entries in the output data source are minimally distorted given the specified anonymity requirement.
